O.K., first, you need to print all your entries and turn them into a book....not that I want you to have enough more entries to make up a big book, but you know what I mean. I know you "just" summarized what others have said in their own diaries and postings, but your summary is quite good!

Second, I'm glad you had a great camping trip and I know you'll do fine without your PT. It does amaze me to know that you are still dealing with swelling/ pain and needing to monitor what you do, but it's a good reality check for me.
